Burning Book: A Visual History of Burning Man

2007 y.
Publisher: Simon Spotlight Entertainment
Description: It all began in 1986 when a pair of friends burned an eight-foot-tall effigy on Baker Beach in San Francisco in front of an impromptu audience of twenty. Two decades later Burning Man has evolved into a dazzling annual extravaganza dedicated to radical self-reliance and radical self-expression, attracting nearly forty thousand people. These revelers -- an eclectic mix of punks, geeks, families, ravers, grad students, gearheads, hippies, and tourists - turn the ancient lakebed of Nevada`s Black Rock Desert into a bustling city that exists for one glorious week before disappearing in a cloud of ashes and dust. `Burning Book: A Visual History of Burning Man` is both a loving commemoration of the event`s storied history and an enlightening companion for festivalgoer`s. Bruder explores the unique ethos and breathtaking art installations that have shaped the event, along with Black Rock City`s distinctive landmarks, pranks, lore, and gift-based economy. Illustrated with more than… [detailed...]

And the messages, as a rule, are not especially good news. Heller prefers his bike to the mandatory Rollerblades, and he gets away with his maniacal bike riding because he is, hands down, the best deliverer of bad news. This summer will be memorable for Heller as he finds himself drawn into the lives of a wildly diverse cast of characters, accidentally falling in love, and relating to people in a whole new way.

Burning for the Buddha: Self-Immolation in Chinese Buddhism

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
Description: `Burning for the Buddha: Self-Immolation in Chinese Buddhism` is the first book-length study of the theory and practice of `abandoning the body`(self-immolation) in Chinese Buddhism. Although largely ignored by conventional scholarship, the acts of self-immolators (which included not only burning the body, but also being devoured by wild animals, drowning oneself, and self-mummification, among others) form an enduring part of the religious tradition and provide a new perspective on the multifarious dimensions of Buddhist practice in China from the early medieval period to the present time. This book examines the hagiographical accounts of all those who made offerings of their own bodies and places them in historical, social, cultural, and doctrinal context. Rather than privilege the doctrinal and exegetical interpretations of the tradition, which assume the central importance of the mind and its cultivation, James Benn focuses on the ways in which the heroic ideals of the… [detailed...]

Burns Supper Companion

2007 y.
Publisher: Birlinn Publishers
Description: In 1801, some five years after Robert Burns` death, nine of his friends sat down to dinner in what is now known as Burns Cottage in Alloway. By then an inn, it was in the `auld clay biggin` where Robert Burns had been born that the first Burns Supper took place. They gathered to celebrate his extraordinary life and to gave thanks for his friendship. It was a simple evening, where they reminisced about his work, sang a few songs, roared with laughter remembering the fiery barbs from his skelpin` tongue, made speeches and drank toasts to his memory. Little did they know that this fellowship and remembrance would resonate down through the centuries and span all across the world. Over the years, the informal theme from that evening has developed into the mystical ritual known as Burns Night. The traditional format of the evening is laid out in `The Burns Supper Companion` according to the Burns Federation and some of the oldest Burns clubs in existence. This fascinating insight into the… [detailed...]

Burnt Sugar Cana Quemada: Contemporary Cuban Poetry in English and Spanish

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Here are the sights, sounds, and rhythms of Cuba, revealed in the evocative works of some of the finest Cuban and Cuban American poets of the twentieth century. In Burnt Sugar, bestselling translator Lori Marie Carlson and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Oscar Hijuelos have created an intimate collection of some of their favorite modern poems, all of which are informed by cubanA­a -- the essence of what it means to be Cuban. `Cuban` in this sense refers neither to ideology nor to geography but rather to the distinguishing characteristics of Cuban poetry as it has developed over time: clever verbal play, overt rhythmic notes, and an intensity of longing, whether religious, political, or amorous. Many of these poems have never been translated into English before, and taken together they, as the editors say, `produce a vibrant, satisfying sound and vivid imagery. They allow for some understanding of modern-day preoccupations, contradictions, feelings, and attitudes… [detailed...]

Publisher: Hyperion
Description: Few women in America are as adored - and accessible - as Teri Hatcher. As the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award-winner for her portrayal of ditzy divorcee Susan Mayer on ABC`s hit series Desperate Housewives, she`s attained a level of success late in her career (in Hollywood terms, anyway) that most women would kill for. But in real life, Teri deals with the same issues as so many women: divorce, single motherhood, bad dates, turning forty… So it`s no surprise that when `Burnt Toast: And Other Philosophies of Life` was published in hardcover, it received tremendous attention and went on to become a major national bestseller. Full of Teri`s foibles and successes, unexpected vulnerability, and frank openness (from looking in the refrigerator for Mr. Right to being told by her daughter`s pediatrician that she should date more), `Burnt Toast: And Other Philosophies of Life` is a funny, intimate, uplifting portrait of one woman`s daily struggles and successes on the road to… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description Standing at the podium, Victor Villasenor looked at the group of educators amassed before him, and his mind flooded with childhood memories of humiliation and abuse at the hands of his teachers. He became enraged. With a pounding heart, he began to speak of these incidents. When he was through, to his great disbelief he received a standing ovation. Many in the audience could not contain their own tears. So begins the passionate, touching memoir of Victor Villasenor. Highly gifted and imaginative as a child, Villasenor coped with an untreated learning disability (he was finally diagnosed, at the age of forty-four, with extreme dyslexia) and the frustration of growing up Latino in an English-only American school in the 1940s. Despite teachers who beat him because he could not speak English, Villasenor clung to his dream of one day becoming a writer. He is now considered one of the premier writers of our time.

She was not only moved but also inspired to write from her heart the emotions she felt for this courageous journalist. Hence her first poem, ``Ode to Daniel Pearl,`` was born. Thus began her journey to put in writing the possible feelings real people may experience when living life in the war-torn Middle East. The poem, ``Souls Gone Elsewhere, Two Women to Market,`` was ignited by an article describing two mentally challenged women sent to pet markets in Baghdad strapped with remote control explosives, thereby becoming innocent homicide bombers. Her poems are written in a simple style to capture a plain truth about war, it pierces our hearts and steals humanity from our souls. [detailed...]

Description: It was the Belle Еpoque, a time before air travel or radio, at the brink of a revolution in photography and filmmaking, when Burton Holmes began a lifelong journey to bring the world home. From the grand boulevards of Paris to China`s Great Wall, from the construction of the Panama canal to the 1906 eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Holmes delighted in finding `the beautiful way around the world` and made a career of sharing his stories, colorful photographs, and films with audiences across America. As a young man, Holmes was mentored by John L. Stoddard, a pioneer of the U.S. travelecture circuit, who passed on his well-established mantle when he retired. Holmes roamed the globe throughout the summer and traversed the United States all winter, transforming the staid lecture tradition into an entertaining show.
